The shooting happened at an abandoned lot at the intersection of North Robinson Boulevard and East Gate Drive. The driver of the tractor-trailer was alert and talking to police. His wound was described by officials as "superficial."

The driver told police he was preparing to drive to Harrisburg when the shooter approached and fired through his driver-side window.

A few minutes later, police were made aware of a possible suspect who crossed into East Hills and may have barricaded themselves in a home on Bracey Drive. Police were unable to confirm if someone was actually barricaded, so they called in a SWAT team.

Two people were inside the home, and were detained. Police later determined they had nothing to do with the shooting.
